Well, since Ive had some of both worlds, here is my conensus...
When I had the 95 Impala SS,
No imports would get near me or any of my SS friends. We would usually pick the riciest of them all. All the decals, like they were sponsors or something, dual fart pipes, and body kits with spoilers that were multiple levels. The only ones, would be the guys who really got power out of theirs or ricer boys who got a fart can birthday present from Daddy. The ricer boys were total losers, never stopped to speak or anything. There were a few imports that beat us and there was one in particular who handed us our ass. A 97? Integra turbo w/ NO. Ran mid 11's. We werent bad losers and gave him props. No excuses, just congrats. Point is, if you are gonna get your car to sound and look like car build to haul, then make it haul!!
Now that I have a 97 Accord,
Its not near as fast as My SS was but I still race to get shits and giggles. I'll race anything, I dont care. Ive modded it some but its no street racer or anything. If I lose, big deal. But however, the ricers are all up at racing now! Same ones too!! Wouldnt race me in the SS but now youll race me in the Honda? WTF?
So what youre saying is, you'll tell a 110 lb guy to piss off, but wont tell it to a guy whos 250+ lbs of whoop ass. Boy, either have balls 24/7, or sit down and shut up!
We have some mean imports around here that get props from all the domestic guys but we have an abundance of ricers that fart all over town and couldnt beat a 3-cyl Metro! They give no respect to anyone.
I havent been in the Honda circuit long but Ive already hung on the back tire of a sweet 87 305 Monte Carlo and he never left me, didnt even beat me by a car link. So Im liking the Honda a lot, but Im a V8 guy so Ill get another SS but Im not getting rid of the Honda either.
Some people love all autos, exotics, imports, domestics, trucks, etc. But some people just think their car make is the one and only and its usually the idiots who cant make it run less than 18 sec in the 1/4 mile. So unless you can respect all cars, you shouldnt be involved.
Basically Im aiming for Ricer b!tches who are all show with no go, crooked hat wearing, big chain, wish they were Eminem, look at the rims Mommy and Daddy bought crowd.
Rant off.
Sorry had to get that out.
